Thomas Christopher “T.C.” Stephenson, 22, passed away on Feb. 21, 2006, in Melbourne, Fla. He was in a skateboarding accident.

Christopher, as his mother always called him, was born Nov. 6, 1983, in Ventura, Calif., on her 19th birthday. His family moved to Kingman where he first attended Hackberry Elementary School, then La Senita, Kingman Junior High School, and graduated from Kingman High School in 2002.

T.C. started his career here in Kingman with West Coast Netting. He moved to Florida and continued with West Coast’s office in Cocoa Beach. He made many good friends and met his wonderful girlfriend, Michelle. He was fortunate to travel a lot and see many interesting places.

T.C. is survived by his parents, Lee and Sherry Michel; his two brothers, Andrew and Sam of Kingman; his girlfriend, Michelle Shock and her parents Greg and Pat of Rockledge, Fla.; his beloved Doberman, Athena; his grandparents, Bob and Mary Ann Newsted, and his great-grandmother, Anne Cheney of Henderson/Las Vegas, Nev.; aunts, uncles, cousins, and many, many friends here and in Florida, including the nurses who bonded with him at Holmes Regional Medical Center SICU. Even though they never got to talk to him, they got to know him through his friends and family, and knew he was a wonderful person.

T.C. was a special person and he chose to share the gift of life as he was an organ donor. Several families got that phone call that brings tears of joy. They tell us at least sixty people will be helped because of his wonderful gift.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 11, at Desert Church of Christ located at 2345 Gordon in Kingman, Pastor Ken Davidson officiating.
